Group Praises Arewa for Asiwaju’s Organized Campaign for Tinubu’s Re-election

The Middle-Belt Progressive Solidarity Forum has praised the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) movement for its organized approach to political engagement in Northern Nigeria as the 2027 elections approach. The Forum, which focuses on fairness and inclusive governance, highlighted A4A’s efforts to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a statement from its leader, Arc. Joshua Pwajok Panam, the Forum noted that A4A has established a national campaign headquarters and created a digital platform to track election data. These steps show a shift from scattered support to a more organized political strategy. The movement has also held rallies, appointed youth ambassadors, and gathered information on federal projects to address claims of neglect in the region.

Online, the hashtag #ArewaforAsiwaju is gaining traction, thanks to northern influencers and content creators who promote it. This online presence has helped keep the conversation focused on the positive impacts of Tinubu’s administration in the North, moving away from discussions of immediate hardships.

The Forum pointed out that there have been measurable improvements in security and infrastructure under the Tinubu administration. For example, security operations have made progress against banditry and terrorism, with several key bandit leaders neutralized and many hostages rescued.

In terms of infrastructure, various road projects are underway in Taraba and other northern states, which will enhance trade and mobility. The Forum believes these developments are crucial for economic activity in the region.

While acknowledging ongoing economic challenges, the Forum stated that A4A’s focus on linking current difficulties to long-term benefits is helping to create a more balanced public discussion. They also emphasized the importance of allowing the current southern presidency to complete its term before another northern president takes office.

The Forum encouraged A4A to maintain its grassroots efforts and continue communicating its achievements clearly. They commended the movement’s leadership for showing that northern political support can be effectively organized.
